Worship at First Church is special each week, but Christmas worship brings a familiarity that connects everyone in the room in a powerful way.

All will be welcome to take communion to remember the sacrifice Christ made for us. 

Together we will experience the final sermon in our Christmas series, "Down to Earth," by Lead Minister, Chad Broaddus.

Service will include a time of candlelight worship. Both adults and children are encouraged to hold candles during this special time.

Christmas is a family-style service, so kids ages kindergarten and older are invited with their families in the Main Worship Center. We will have optional activity bags for kids in K-5th grades to enjoy!

First Years is our ministry for babies through Pre-K. Programming with our wonderful First Years leaders is available for little ones during each of the six Christmas worship services on Dec. 23 & 24.

After service, enjoy complimentary hot beverages and Christmas treats from our First Church Café! Brú will also be open and taking your favorite iced and hot specialty drink orders!

Take time to visit a festive photo op area! Our volunteers will help you commemorate Christmas 2024 by using your cell phone to snap a special photo of you and your loved ones in front of any of our lovely Christmas scenes.

We are excited to offer camel encounters and photograph opportunities again this year! This up-close experience with these massive animals is incredible! Children especially love being able to pet animals that Jesus himself would have been around when he lived on Earth! 

Our friendly and fun Shuttle Team drivers offer rides to and from our parking lots in any weather! If you find our lots full, alternate parking is available at Bailey Medical Center as well as the dialysis center behind First Church.

We have an awesome online worship community! If you cannot attend onsite, join us online Dec. 24 for one of the live worship services or catch the rebroadcast online Christmas Eve at 7PM. We will also have on-demand streaming of the service starting Christmas Day. Share the link with others and let them receive the message of HOPE this Christmas with you!

We couldn't offer such meaningful Christmas services without the dedication of our church family. We have serve teams to suit every type of God-given gift! Saying "YES!" to serving God's Kingdom is an honor and what we are called to do as followers of Jesus. "Attend one, serve one" is a way for everyone who partners with First Church to both give and get a wonderful Christmas experience! Click the link to browse our serving opportunities. 

Christmas is a time for celebrating Jesus' arrival and for sharing His JOY with the 918. Each year, our First Church family works to carry out our mission to "Love Jesus and love like Jesus" through gifting, feeding, praying for, and connecting with children and families in need of hope and love this Christmas season.
